Well, I'm a ghost. I scare people. It's all very important, I assure you.


EVE Online is pretty much made for griefers. With a little patience, you could infiltrate any corporation with an alt. Depending on how trusting the corp was or how long you played with them, you could do almost anything to them. This meant anything from simple information gathering to stealing or destroying billions of isk worth of equipment, representing hundreds or even thousands of hours of played time. With a little well-placed sabatoge you could shift the balance of an entire war.

The best part was this was completely allowed within the game's rules. It was almost encouraged, really.

The other is the good old fashioned "Mind control off a cliff / at 3% of their health during a duel and make them aggro a mob. Doing either of these makes them take durability (Their armor is damaged) and is funny as hell to me. Sometimes all you have to do is sit and watched a flagged Horde and they will freak out at your presence so much they aggro too many mobs or forget to heal themselves and get beaten to death.

I've spent hours at a time just running around Blackrock Mountain MCing people into the lava. Sometimes when I'd be waiting on zeppelin towers I'd duel people and then make them jump off just as the zeppelin starts to pull away. A couple times I'd go into an Alliance lowbie area and MC a mob some level 10 was fighting. They hit the mob, they flag for PvP, I one-shot them. They've since fixed that particular exploit.

I think this is what you're talking about. The Great Scam?

I think someone at some point came out and stated they wrote this as fiction, which I believe because it doesn't really provide an accurate account of how the game works anyway.

Whenever you get around to doing this spider stuff, you must get a video of it.
